Suggestion: "Program is attempting to on . If you expected it to, tap here. If not, tap below." Then, if the same permission dialog keeps happening at the same point in the same process, and the user has never said "no", allow the option to save a "just say yes" or "just say no" for that

This sounds like something a bug needs to be filed on. If you have openssl, can you do: openssl s_client -connect 192.168.168.132 -showcerts and send the dump thereof? My instant thought is that there might be an IP address in a subjectAltName entry of type dNSName, or an IP in the Common Name

Not everything is necessarily the browser's fault. This could be, for example, other malware. (I'm not saying that it is, just suggesting that it may be environment-based.) That said, it's hard to figure out where a security problem is if the only thing that can be seen is what's been left b

then why not create an internal build of Firefox, embed your own root into it, and issue certificates from that root to the boxes that need it? Oh yeah, because people use computers for more than one purpose. A home machine can be used to VPN into work. Wake up, Mozilla. Your policy is not usef

Nonstandard ports and admin override?

2008-08-26 Thread Kyle Hamilton
Hi, I'm trying to figure out (for testing purposes only -- I need to verify a certificate on a POP3 server) if there's a way to override Firefox 3's internal port blocking. The port in question is 995, which is POP3/secure. Of course, I'd very much like to understand why this happens: "Port Rest

I actually did see the EV chrome indicator, but my network latency was fairly high. (If you want to simulate this, try torrenting Ubuntu.) It appeared to be a time-delay thing (based on 'oh hey, we've got an EV-validated connection') as opposed to a content-delay thing (such as "oh hey, this is a
